My people know nothing,<br> not the first thing of God and his rule.<br> The prophet Jeremiah 8:7, MSG</p> <p>“America is in deep crisis but not beyond redemption.”<br> Neil Young in Rolling Stone interview, August 21, 2003</p> <p>‘Prophecy does two things; it criticizes and energizes’<br> Theologian Walter Brueggemann in The Prophetic Imagination</p> <p>“This is a time, I believe, of great inner turmoil... There is a new morality coming out of this administration -- fundamentalist religious views; a holier-than-thou attitude towards the rest of the world”<br> Neil Young, Rolling Stone, August 21, 2003</p> <p>“It's this I-know-better-than-you mentality again, playing a holier-than-thou part instead of just living your own part.

Based on the bestselling dvd course of the same name, Living the Questions explores matters many churches are afraid to address including the humanity of Jesus and homosexuality, and examines in a new light traditional faith topics such as the Bible, atonement, salvation, the rapture, and more.</p> <p>"A rich, wise, helpful and important book - virtually a manifesto of progressive Christianity." Marcus Borg</p> <p>"I'm so grateful for Living the Questions. These progressive voices offer less rigid and more expansive approaches to Christian faith, and make room for people who practice critical thinking and question the gatekeepers. They help us see that questioning the gatekeepers is exactly what Jesus was all about." Brian McLaren</p> <p>"A welcome book that is bold (without being contentious) and courageous (without needing to be triumphant), Felten and Procter-Murphy give voice to a faith that provides a profound alternative to the dominant ideology of 'American Christianity.' attention should be paid!" Walter Brueggemann</p> <p>"In a clear and masterful way, Felten and Procter-Murphy . . . open up a pathway to a more vital and even exciting way to approach the Christian faith in the 21st century." Fred Plumer</p> <p>"David Felten and Jeff Procter-Murphy speak with high levels of credibility to the deep and abiding human hunger that yearns for a Christian future."
